CLIENT: CHAPEL STREET PRECINCT
OUTLET: HERALD SUN
Among the trash of 2020, Chapel Street's Pawnbrokers has unearthed plenty of treasures. Owner Michael Kaoulla said the shop had received an influx of people wanting to sell their valuable items as a result of decluttering during lockdown.
The legendary pawnshop has recently been commemorated as a long-standing institution of the Chapel Street Precinct in the latest campaign: The Souls of Chapel Street.
CLIENT: GOOD EMPIRE
OUTLET: AAP
This week, our client Good Empire went into a fundraising round. Like most startups, it expected most investors would typically be older, wealthy and male. Instead and to its surprise, it overshot the target - raising more than half a million dollars while nearly 60 per cent of its investors were women.
Good Empire finished up their raise with $878,000 from 1075 investors, and are now ready to save the f**cking world.
CLIENT: GOOD EMPIRE
OUTLET: THE AUSTRALIAN
Investors appear to be behind Andre Eikmeier's start-up Good Empire which has attracted $605,000 in equity funding through Birchal crowdfunding.
Mr Eikmeier says 58 per cent of the investors are women and "they are also investing larger amounts than their male counterparts".
"Having been involved in the start-up world for over a decade now, I know the imbalance and how far we have to go to empower female founders and investors, and I know some good women and organisations working on this.
“To see us not only at 58 per cent of investors identifying as women, but also at 66 per cent of the funds raised from women – it’s awesome, and promising."

CLIENT: CHAPEL STREET PRECINCT
OUTLET: STUDIO 10
After 41 years of business, Melbourne’s infamous 24HR café Chapelli’s has flipped the pages of its own history book. Manager of the iconic Chapel Street venue, Lisa James, revealed her own stories on Studio 10. Like the time politely asked a dusty-looking Pearl Jam to eat outside because they were wearing no shoes – she had no idea who they were!
Chapelli’s has been commemorated as an iconic business of Chapel Street by featuring in the precinct’s short-doco series: Soul of Chapel. The series shines a spotlight on its colourful community who have dedicated their life to being custodians of the Precinct’s culture.
